Answers to common questions, plus how to get in touch.
Getting started
How do I add my first entry?
Tap the + button in the top-right corner. The editor opens with today's date pre-selected. Set each of the five 1–5 ratings — mood, anxiety, sleep, energy, focus — add an optional note, then tap Save.
What do the five dimensions mean?
They're loosely modelled on items from the PHQ-9 (depression) and GAD-7 (anxiety) self-report instruments:
- Mood — how positive you felt overall (1 = very low, 5 = great).
- Anxiety — how worried or on-edge you were (1 = none, 5 = severe). Note: higher is worse for this one, and the colour scale reflects that.
- Sleep — quality of last night's sleep (1 = very poor, 5 = great).
- Energy — how much energy you had during the day (1 = very low, 5 = great).
- Focus — how well you could concentrate (1 = very poor, 5 = great).
These are deliberately subjective. They're meant to give you a quick daily checkpoint — not a clinical assessment.
Can I log entries for past days?
Yes. After tapping +, change the date at the top of the editor to any past day. Future dates are disabled.
Can I log more than one entry per day?
Yes. Each + tap creates a brand-new entry; you can use this to log a morning and an evening reflection on the same day, for example.
Editing & deleting
How do I edit an existing entry?
Tap the entry's row to open it, then tap Edit in the top-right of the detail view. You can change the date, the ratings, and the notes there.
How do I delete an entry?
Long-press the entry's row on the main list, then choose Delete from the menu that appears. (No swipe — long-press is the gesture.)
Can I undo a delete?
Not currently. If you tap Delete, the entry is gone immediately.
Data & privacy
Where is my data stored?
Locally on your device, using Apple's SwiftData framework. There is no account, no cloud, no analytics on the entry content itself. See the privacy page for the short version.
How do I back up or move my data?
Your data is included in your standard iCloud or iTunes/Finder iPhone backup. There's no in-app export today; if that's important to you, please open a GitHub issue.
Does the app collect anything about how I'm feeling?
No. The anonymous usage signals we send to TelemetryDeck only record that an entry was created/updated/deleted — never the date, never the rating values, never the note text. The only metadata we attach is a single boolean indicating whether the entry has notes at all (not what they say).
System requirements
What iPhone and iOS version do I need?
I Am Mindful! requires iOS 17.0 or later on iPhone. iPad and Apple Watch are not currently supported.
Still need help?
